privacy

last updated 30 july 2026

Short version: there are no accounts, no tracking pixels, no advertising, no analytics scripts, and nothing is sold or shared with anyone.

what is stored

• A random device token kept in your browser's local storage. It is how your hamster is recognised when you come back. It is not linked to an email, a name, or anything about you.
• Your hamster — awake time, items unlocked, coat, status, days visited, and any badges earned.
• Chat messages you send in rooms that allow talking, kept briefly so the room can show recent lines, and retained in a report if somebody reports you.
• Lines you write on the wall in the back room. These are deliberately not temporary: they are kept with your hamster's name after you leave, shown to everyone who walks in, and the most recent one is shown on the front page. The wall holds the last sixty lines and older ones drop off. Treat anything you pin there as permanent and public.
• Seeds, trinkets and what you put on the shelf, including your name against it while it is on display.
• Who invited you. If you first arrived on somebody's invite link, we store a link between your hamster and theirs so their "brought here" count is real. It is stored once, on your first visit, and never changed.
• Reports and blocks you submit.
• Crash reports. If the room fails to draw, your browser sends the error and stack, which room you were in, and what your hamster was wearing. No page contents and nothing you typed.
• Connection address, held in memory only, to limit how many connections one machine can open. It is not written to disk.

clips

The CLIP button saves the last ten seconds of the room as a GIF on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, and we never see it. But the recording is of a shared room, so other hamsters, their names and anything on screen at the time will be in the file — and whoever made it can post it anywhere. If you would not want a moment shown to strangers, do not do it in a room with other people in it.

what is not stored

No email address, no password, no name, no location, no advertising or analytics identifiers, and no third-party cookies. The site sets no cookies at all.

who can see it

Other hamsters can see your generated name, your coat and items, your status, your awake hours, days visited, badges, games won, how many hamsters you have brought in, and what you have on the shelf, by hovering or clicking you. Lines you write on the wall are public to everyone and outlast your visit. That is all public inside the room. Nobody can see your device token, your seed balance, or who invited you.

deleting it

Clearing your browser's local storage for this site permanently disconnects you from your hamster. Because there is no account, that data can no longer be reached by anyone, including us. If you want the stored record removed as well, get in touch and we will delete it.

children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has used it, contact us and we will remove the record.
